LANSING – Capital Region International Airport has teamed up with Allegiant Airlines and the National Dodgeball Association to host the “Dodge High Fares” dodgeball tournament, which will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 3, at Lansing’s Westside Community YMCA.

The tournament, one of more than 30 similar events scheduled across the country, is part of Allegiant’s summer-long “Dodge High Fares” marketing campaign.

Event proceeds will be split between the Westside YMCA and the winning dodgeball team’s charity of choice. Each member of the winning team will also receive a $100 Allegiant Air ticket voucher, courtesy of Capital Region International Airport.

“We’re very excited to team up with Allegiant Airlines and help support the Lansing-area community,” said Nicole Noll-Williams, Capital Region International Airport’s director of regional marketing. “With 100% of tournament proceeds benefiting local charities, the event is a fun and interactive way to help our community and spread the word about Allegiant’s exceptional, low-cost airline service. It’s a win-win for all of us.”

Teams interested in participating in the “Dodge High Fares” dodgeball tournament must register by 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, to be eligible. Registration can be completed online at dodgehighfares.com. The cost to enter is a $100 charity donation per team.

Those unable to participate still have an opportunity to win a great prize from Allegiant. Mid-Michigan residents can log on to dodgehighfares.com, select the Lansing tournament and tell the airline what they would dodge by winning a free vacation. Each week through August 31, 2013, one lucky entrant will win a free round-trip flight courtesy of Allegiant Airlines.
